Reading is about to become more expensive – and difficult – in Newfoundland and Labrador. To close a budget deficit, the province has announced it is closing 54 of 95 libraries. The move comes just days after Newfoundland became the country’s first province to institute a new 10-per-cent tax on books.

Five Ontario drivers who purchased a Porsche Spyder hybrid, which retails for about $1.1 million, got $5,000 rebates from the province’s electric vehicle incentive program last year.

The province also provided similar rebates for dozens of other drivers who purchased a BMW i8 at $362,000 or a Fiskar Karma at $212,000.

Your tax dollars... Kathleen Wynne's obscenely rich friends.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the socio-economic scale...

Pharmacist William Brown, who launched the complaint, said dozens of the doctor’s patients alleged they were coerced to fill their prescriptions at a business in Dr. Jatinder Dhillon’s building. The pressure included threats to cut off their “carries” — doses of methadone they can take home rather than having to visit the clinic every day — and physically walking them into the store.

Why worry, right? This doesn't affect you.

Perhaps you need to think again...

The number of patients in Ontario has soared from 3,000 to more than 50,000 since 1996. Scores of physicians heavily involved in the field are billing the Ontario government more than $900,000 a year.

It's only money, right? This type of thing is why Ontario's debt has doubled since the Liberals were elected in 2003.

His captors, Justin? I guess we can't use the words "Muslim" or "terrorist"... right?

The government “will not comment or release any information to compromise ongoing efforts.”

Dear Steve Rukavina... Not presuming to question your obviously vast & eclectic firearms expertise, but I wager I could take Wendy Mesley to a gun range and have her hitting man-sized targets at 200 meters over iron sights before our coffee got cold.

"Toronto police Det. Sgt. Tam Bui believes a highly trained sniper who shot and killed a Toronto man in his driveway last fall may be in Montreal."

FWIW, Sgt. Tam... (kudos btw, to the Toronto Police Service for upholding their tradition of finding a "spokescop" who approximates the ethnic makeup of the murder victim) no "sniper" worthy of the name would be caught dead using a lever action varmint rifle.

The Browning BLR is, in fact, the antithesis of a sniper rifle. It is simply a modern take on the ubiquitous 19th century cowboy rifle... a close range deer blaster known mostly for it's beginner-friendly (half-cock safety, well placed forward swivel) carrying options.

Serious hunters and competition benchrest shooters use bolt action firearms. Putting a scope on a short barrel, lever action bush gun is like those urban Vin Diesel wannabes who screw fibreglass Porsche-lookalike whaletails to the trunklids of their souped up Honda Civics.

For anyone unfamiliar with firearms (which is basically any/every CBC viewer), a 200 meter shot with a rifle is child's play.

Most owners report groups ranging from 1-4 MOA. If you fall into the middle of that range, then 400 yard shots are pushing the limits of taking a deer humanely. This rifle, combined with a 4, 6, or 3-9 power scope offers easy shots on deer up to 400 yards.

I guess having a sniper loose on the streets just underscores the importance of banning those nasty, evil lifetaking guns.

Perhaps the CBC should shy away from attempting to say anything at all about guns... and stick to their well-oiled 24/7 unashamed public fellating of once famous/recently deceased music personalities.

The health ministry has approved a plan that front-line doctors fear will create an even deeper health care crisis: outsourcing hundreds of allogeneic transplants to three American centres at a cost of more than $100 million (U.S.).

I don't get it... where was Prime Minister Care Bear's caution when the Liberals were hell-bent on jamming 25,000 unvetted Muslim refugees down Canadian's throats, simply to make their very public Christmas deadline.

Similarly, there was no cautious pace when it came to repealing Conservative legislation to deport convicted terrorists with dual citizenship, or tossing out legislation that audited the 12 billion dollar annual welfare cheque to aboriginal chiefs.

An outspoken member of Black Lives Matter Toronto is being sued after leaving her job with UofT’s student union with a $277,508 severance deal that included 1,975 hours of overtime.

The union wants former executive director Sandra “Sandy” Hudson and her co-defendants — who allegedly approved the package — to jointly pay it back, along with another $200,000 in damages for breach of fiduciary duty.

Not too surprisingly, Ms Hudson, declined to comment on the Sun's story except to label the U of T student union “oppressive” and “unconscionable.”.

"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention figures showed that in 2010... the number of children killed in unintentional drowning deaths was sixteen times higher than the number of children killed in unintentional gun-related deaths."

“Democrats have become known as the party of gun control,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “Virtually all recent gun control proposals at the federal and state levels have been launched and championed by Democrats. It’s time for the party to ‘put up or shut up’ about guns. The best way to do that is to forsake armed security during the convention.”

“If a political party believes that guns do not make us safer,” Gottlieb observed, “they should set an example by rejecting any and all forms of armed security at their national convention. A party that does not believe in the right of individual citizensto keep and bear arms should not benefit from the safety provided by others who bear arms.
